This Is My Second Relationship With My Wife

24 – Episode 24 (Seo-a)

“Will you become my girlfriend?”

“…Ji… Jihoon?”

Seoa suddenly began to panic at my words.

“W-Why all of a sudden?”

Could it really have been that bad?!

“N-No, it’s not like that! But… Are you Jihun by any chance?”

“N-No… I am Jihun, so who else could it be?”

“No! Well… Ugh, do you happen to know what day October 21st is?”

“October… 21st?”

Why all of a sudden, our anniversary… Wait a minute.

“You… Could it be?”

“It’s Jihun!?”

“Seoa!?”

In that moment, all the pieces of the puzzle started to fit together.

Seoa, who had been cold, suddenly became incredibly kind to me,

And the expression that seemed to be hiding something.

Rather than being amazed when we went to the zoo, it felt familiar.

“Yes… If it’s not everything about Seoa, then it’s impossible for it not to be my wife…”

“You… Are you really Jihun!?”

“Seoa!!”

“Jihun!!”

We embraced each other tightly and cried our hearts out.

“What have you been doing all this time!! Just confess…”

“You of all people! You said it was so cold back then when it was you!! How careful I was!”

“Ughhh… I’m sorry!! If only I hadn’t suggested going out back then…”

“No… I’m sorry, I should have been more careful.”

Seoa and I talked like that for a while, sharing stories from the past.

“Somehow, you seemed so nice. I thought you were a cold queen, but you turned out to be a princess.”

“Ha, what’s that supposed to mean? Shouldn’t you confess sooner then? Why wait until the start of summer vacation?”

“No…”

Honestly, how could I have known that the cold Seoa would become my wife…

“Sigh… Why do you have a sorry expression? You came back to me, didn’t you? Thank you for not looking at any other woman and coming to me.”

“Hey… how can you say that? I’ve told you many times that we’ll be together for a lifetime.”

Seoa smiled happily and nodded.

“I’m sorry for being lonely all this time. Let’s always be together now.”

As I hugged Seoa like that, she hugged me back and nodded.

“Yeah… let’s not break up again.”

Seoa embraced me tightly and sighed in relief.

*Kkkiiing*

“Kyaaah!!”

I screamed and stood up, and there it was, a familiar wall.

“Where is this…”

A cold room with few belongings and a very old quilt

“That..that can’t be”

I went out of the room and saw no one in the house but I knew

“This is.. their place…”

I was startled by the sudden old memory and looked around

“What.. why am I here for sure”

I went out to play with Jihoon and had an accident..

“Ah..ahhhhh!!!!”

That moment I remembered Jihoon who was calling me desperately in front of my eyes

“Jihoon.. Jihoon!!”

I searched for my phone but I couldn’t find it anywhere

“What the hell why am I here..”

I looked at the calendar and it was a very old calendar the date was..

“What..? Why.. why is the calendar wait a minute”

I rummaged around like a madwoman and searched my clothes

“Here..”

The high school uniform I wore a long time ago when I went to school was in my hand

“What.. this is I threw it away a long time ago why is it here and something is weird”

No matter how much I thought I had no reason to be here but with a slight hope I wore the uniform and went into the bathroom

“This is.. a perfect fit”

There was no way this uniform would fit my current body, but if I was the age of a high school student back then, it would have been possible.

“How could this happen..”

Jihun always told me about the novels he read about regression or going back to the past, but I never thought it would be true.

I wanted to quit school, but if I really went back to the past and couldn’t go back to the future, I had to go to school even more.

“This time.. faster.. even an hour faster, I have to meet Jihun.”

Jihun said he was in the same school as me. I had to find him no matter what.

So I quickly got dressed and prepared and went to school.

I hated school so much when I was a high school student, but thinking that Jihun was in the same school made me smile.

Then I’ll find Jihun right away…

Find him?

“Seoah, hi..hello?”

“..Then from the beginning.. confession too..? Everything”

“Seo..Seoah!?”

The Jihun I’ve been with.. is he gone?

“Sn..sniff”

“Seo..Seoah!? Wa..wait a minute, ti..tissue!”

That’s how I shed tears that I never had when I was a high school student.

“Here, tissue”

“Thank you…”

“You’re really worried, aren’t you? Are you okay?”

“..Uh”

I received a tissue from a friend named Seohyun and wiped my tears.

“Ah.. What happened to you?”

It was a very bad thing that happened to me, but it was something that no one else could understand even if I told them.

“Yeah.. Just..”

I mumbled vaguely.

After class, I wandered around the other classes looking for Jihun.

“Wow.. Seoah.”

“Really.. You’re so pretty.”

The people around me looked at me with compliments, but what was important to me was not those trivial things.

“No..”

I went out every break time and looked for Jihun, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Maybe we missed each other, or maybe he didn’t come to school today.

If I had known this, I would have remembered Jihun’s graduation photo album that was at my mother’s house.

Lunchtime came and Seohyun, who had worried about me earlier, came up to me.

“Hey.. Do you want to eat together?”

If it was the old me, I would have refused without hesitation. I thought he was also approaching me because of my appearance. But the current me is different. Thanks to my husband, I can see the world a little more positively.

“Yeah, let’s eat together, Seohyun.”

As I nodded my head, Park Seohyun nodded his head with a very bright face.

“Finally! Thank you! Thank you, Seohyun!”

It was a bit of a happening that I was so grateful that I felt sorry for him

“Then I’ll end the day”

“Seo-ah, do you want to go together today..”

“Sorry, I’ll go ahead for a moment. See you tomorrow”

“..Yeah! See you tomorrow~”

I hurriedly left the classroom and went outside the school to find Ji-hoon who was going home

I thought he would surely come out if I waited here

So I waited for 1 minute, 3 minutes, 7 minutes, 10 minutes

“…”

Ji-hoon didn’t come out

“He must have gone out through the back door..”

That’s how I didn’t meet him on the first day

“Ah..hi?”

“Huh? Oh, hi Seo-hyun”

The next day, I came out to school again

“Ah..hi Seo-ah”

“Nice to meet you”

When Seo-hyun spoke to me, other friends also came over and greeted me

“Hi?”

Then they all smiled brightly and chatted with me about this and that

“Really? That sounds nice~”

“Me too, me too. What about you, Seo-ah?”

“Um.. I’ll have a caramel macchiato.”

“Really? You really like sweet things, huh?”

As we talked, the girls gradually approached me and started talking to me.

“To be honest.. I was a bit.. scared to talk to you before.”

“Oh… I see.”

“But.. but now that I know what kind of person you are, Seo-ah!”

When I was in high school, I was almost expressionless.

The screams that I heard every day

The damp floor

The smell that slowly spread from the window in the dirty alley

That was the environment I lived in, and I had been envied and jealous all my life, so my heart was almost closed.

“Yeah.. I feel sorry somehow.”

I apologized, thinking that they must have been nervous because of me.

“No! It’s okay, you don’t have to be sorry.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

They said it was okay and that they liked me coming closer to them.

Thank you, Ji-hoon. Thanks to you, I can finally see the world clearly.. So this time, I’ll come find you.

“Ah.. and do you want to try this? It’s popular in other schools these days.. hehehehe.”

On the phone that a friend took out, there was a word that said popularity vote.

“Popularity…vote?”

“Yeah.. That’s actually a trend among girls to see who’s the prettiest in school.”

As I listened more, I learned that people who said they were the prettiest in school put themselves in the popularity vote to prove it.

“Uh.. I’m a little..”

Wait…then does Ji-hoon also vote here?

“Hey..I knew you’d feel bad about this, so I left Seo-ah out.”

“No, put me in too.”

“Huh?”

“Please put me in.”

When I said it seriously, the girl nodded.

“Ah..okay.”

That’s how I found two Ji-hoons after a while, one with a blonde girl and the other with me.

‘Bingo’

And then the next day

Now I was enjoying coming to school more and more.

Especially because one of the ones named Ji-hoon pointed me out.

It must be Lee Ji-hoon, right?

“Seo-ah, do you know what day it is today?”

“Huh? What day?”

“Ah.. I really don’t know what to say today.”

The words that Seohyun told me were some useless nonsense that if you confess today, it will last forever.

“Seoah, be careful. Everyone can confess to you. Don’t feel bad and just ignore them.”

“Uh.. Thanks for letting me know.”

Was today that kind of day? Honestly, I had nothing to do with or interest in that kind of thing.

‘What if Jihun..’

I opened my locker all day long, but there were only other useless letters.

“Tsk.. Why is there only this kind of thing?”

I sighed and decided to go find Jihun myself.

Later, I didn’t even know that there was a letter that I really wanted to receive there.
